    Tbf I had diminished my presence due to his lack of understanding, yes some are indeed time wasters and could do research on their own with the vast resources on this forum. That said if any individual was genuinely sincere in with their needs and lack of understanding, as I have been in the...

    lubricating hub motor internal freewheel

    1700 miles is a small number to see failure, if you do buy new and something fails again try and get a replacement. Although mine isn't a Bafang front hub per se, I believe it was made by Bafang and branded Yose, mine has covered 10,000 miles+ since 2016, used on canal paths and woodland trails...

    They do have systems in place to prevent and discourage this, they do take photo ID off everyone that sells and a current webcam snap, it took me 2 bits of ID just to sell an xbox one s.

    Yose 350 rear hub kit - transplanted onto Scott !

    Is it nice weather though? I have about 5x mint condition two halves (12) magnet disks with snap rings, they are a tad large about 8cm diameter. If you ever need one give us a nudge. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175056097618?hash=item28c2281152:g:C3cAAOSwih9hsMwj

    Punctures

    It was 2x tenners lol - fully charged phone battery and the cell tower nearest to me when I get a puncture is down for maintenance. I do carry a spare face mask in my bag, in the early mask days I had a batch that kept breaking, since purchase reusable ones.

    Punctures

    Huge response - good see - thanks. I think my tyre is similar in tread design, defo avoid wet metal covers and try not to venture out in the ice, although I read that letting the pressure out a little can help with ice.

    Punctures

    what are these tyres like on wet slippery roads? My schawlbe land cruisers are not so great in this foggy wet period. They do look tread wise very similar. Anyone tried SCHWALBE Marathon (GreenGuard) added bonus these have been tested for high speed ebike. :oops:

    Anyone use AliExpress regularly, what's your thoughts please?

    If you used a debit card second and it failed, it could of been a server error, bank UK or aliex web server, thinking about it, I have had similar issues with some past check outs, although very brief issues. If it happens again I would suggest using the "trying again later" method!:p

    Anyone use AliExpress regularly, what's your thoughts please?

    All purchases should now add VAT at the checkout as most, if not all use AliPay(UK) LTD as an escrow payment holding system from what I understand and aliexpress is a market place this should avoid customs pocking around in your mail. I order all sorts, a throttle with grips as it was cheaper...

    Anyone use AliExpress regularly, what's your thoughts please?

    Paypal payment option on Aliex - I believe it either appears if the sellers uses it, appears after you make so many purchases or cost them so much some don't use it

    Yosepower hub kits.

    Mine is similar in black, to say it's done 10,000 miles mostly on suspension forks is still a surprise albeit the forks have seen better days. I have the YOSE 36v front black version and I have covered serval of those miles with a 48v battery, it still gets a little sluggish dropping 2mph at 47v...

    anyone bought anything from this site akkushop.de

    Thought as much, I am not surprised anymore could we have accidently resorted back to protectionism, I did notice a new trade deal with NZ yet to outline the details, but costs to ship anything to the UK with container prices as they are is going to be a hard pass for the individual consumer...

    Evans Cycles for ebike service

    True - any LBS worth half their salt will scratch their chin a few times tell you what needs doing give you a ball park figure and if you walk in looking wealthy they can attempt an upsell. TBF I have never used Halfords and only recently got an Evans locally and my LBS uses easy rust parts, so...

    anyone bought anything from this site akkushop.de

    Not used em - put the battery in your basket and see if it adds UK VAT before buying but anything over £100 I would budget for customs duty. Edit scrap that - I don't think they ship to the UK

    New shifter for freshly converted ebike

    If possible I would add an Altus derailleur they are by far one of the best the derailleur I have used. I have a 7 speed on a megarange freewheel best decision I ever made. Not sure if they did an 8 speed megarange though but still the Altus derailleur would look good. I would say an shimano...
